Your problem door isn’t a door problem.

The real reason your door drags.

Your sticking door probably isn’t the door’s fault. Butt and pivot hinges wear out quickly on high-traffic entrances. Stress focused on only two or three hinge points eventually deforms the hinges, making your door hard to close and compromising security.

A SELECT geared continuous hinge fixes your “problem door” for good. A SELECT geared continuous hinge distributes stress along the door length, giving it durability proven by more than 25 million open/close cycles in independent testing. That’s why we can offer the industry’s only Continuous Warranty™ covering any failure of our aluminum geared continuous hinges — with no expiration date.
